Can a workman's comp total disability cash pay out be garnished for payments on a credit card?

States establish the laws pertaining to exemptions that the defendant may use to protect personal and real property in a lawsuit judgment. All SS benefits and federally protected disability such as RRD are exempt; however, workman's compensation insurance is state regulated and not all states allow the entire amount to be protected against creditor attachment. It would be in the best interest of the involved party to obtain legal advice on the matter from an attorney who is knowledgeable in creditor and debtor issues.
